Muffins are a kind of bread that are baked in small portions in muffin cups. They look like cupcakes and small cakes in the shape, but there are in general lack of frosting and are not sweet as the cupcakes.
The name muffin itself comes either from “muffe” or “moufflet”. Muffe is a kind of cake from Germany and moufflet is a French word which means a soft bread.This week I decided to make some varieties of muffins for breakfast and for my kid’s tiffin.
